Appling the Law of Attraction

There has been a lot of focus on the Law of Attraction recently. Unfortunately, there has also been a lot of misunderstanding about what this law is and how to apply it. Applying the Law of Attraction requires more than repeating the same affirmation for fifteen minutes a day or simply believing that you deserve what you want and therefore you will receive it. An excellent formula that explains how to make the Law of Attraction work for you is Focus + Emotion + Action = Attraction.

In other words, you need to be very specific about what you want and focus clearly on this desire. You also need to generate the feeling of actually having the thing you desire. Imagine how you will feel when you have achieved your goal or received the benefit you are aiming for, including the feeling of gratitude. This kick-starts your faith and belief that you can really attract what you want. As Jesus is recorded as saying in the New Testament, if you believe that you already have what you are asking for, you will receive it. Focused attention supported by genuine belief (with all its attendant feelings) ...
... generates new opportunities and a new outlook, however you will still need to take action if you want to attract what you desire.

For example, if you focus on being slim and enjoy the feeling of being your ideal weight but still eat a high calorie, high fat and high sugar diet, you will not attract the results you want. However, if you are prepared to start making changes, the Law of Attraction will make it increasingly easier to do the things necessary to lose weight and if necessary it will act in a way to reorganize your life for success. You don�t have to work incredibly hard to attract your desires, you just have to work towards them.

The combination of focused attention and belief with emotion is what Dr Wayne Dyer refers to as �intention.� Intention acts as a command to the universe to realign your life for the success you are asking for. It is a powerful force that must be used wisely because you will get what you are asking for (focusing on) even if it is not really what you want. It is therefore very important to ask or focus consciously and wisely. It is usually our subconscious beliefs and thoughts along with our habitual emotions that sabotage our use of the Law of Attraction. We can conclude that the law itself is not working for us when, in fact, it is our dominant focus that is attracting the very things that we don�t want.

No matter how hard it is, we need to let go of the past and do what we can to heal negative emotions in ourselves. If we have been hurt and we focus on that hurt and feelings of betrayal and rejection, for example, we are actually applying the Law of Attraction to bring more of the same into our lives. This hardly seems fair, but the law is not personal. You can be deliberately focusing on your desires, feeling the emotions attached to receiving them and even taking the necessary action, but if most of your thinking and expectations are negative you will not only undo the good you have done, you will also attract the very things you don�t want.

Applying the Law of Attraction, therefore, requires discipline. It requires that you become very conscious not only of your thoughts and underlying beliefs but also of the emotions you are experiencing from day to day. A peaceful, happy frame of mind is necessary to truly attract the things you want into your life. An essential aspect of this a feeling of contentment and gratitude. You may feel that your current circumstances are so difficult that you have nothing to be grateful for. However, a basic premise of the Law of Attraction is that what you focus on grows. Focusing on the things you are grateful for will attract more things to be grateful for into your life. It is a spiritual discipline that will pay big dividends in the future.

The great cosmic news is that we are not limited to our material circumstances and the things we can physically do to change them. By applying the Law of Attraction we are able to transform our lives with minimal effort. Best of all, the key to our success lies within each of us.
